Why

by Guilty By Design   Aug 29, 2023


I am happier now that you are gone
I am not constantly on edge
Worrying what could set you off next
I can sleep and wake up at ease
Not to someone screaming at my face
I found someone that does not make me flinch
Someone that asks about my day
She does not accuse me of things I did not do
Or get mad over scenarios that have not happened yet
I do not need to medicate or analyze
She does not lie to me, I never have to wonder
She communicates and tries her best, it is not pretend
I can count on her, without her keeping score
Truly, she is more than I could ever wish for
So tell me, why does my heart still break
Every time something reminds me of you?
You are everywhere.

    Some people do not realize this and continue to stay. I've been in a relationship where I was afraid to start over but, once I finally got the courage to leave, everyday has been nothing but a blessing. I no longer fear or dread my days. 5/5

      It took me a while to learn how to live again but I do believe life gets better once we decide to move on.
